snow day

So I started reading the next chapter to The Devinvi Code by Dan Brown. This chapter was a lot less exciting than the first and it brought my hopes down. The first was so exciting and weird that it had me super excited and now I don’t really want to finish it. But I have read all of Dan Brown’s other books so I know it will get good but that could take a while and nobody has time to be bored so I think I will read something else. So now that I have just made that decision I need to find a book to read. I want to read a book that’s maybe 250-350 pages long. Not too long but long enough for a good story to develop. I want to find a book that has a super good plot and well developed characters. And I don’t want to be able to guess the ending either. I like when the book really surprises me and I’m just sitting there like “dang that’s intense….like camping.” Then I would stop reading then start watching my favorite show psych, because that is a lot better for many reasons. I need to see if there is a screenplay for that I could read because that would be super cool. I might go to the library and try to find a book because I feel like reading but only if it’s a good book. Something that I really like reading is the lyrics to really good rappers because if they are actually good unlike Kanye west, the way they put together sentences is pretty “fresh”. The only good rappers are like Eminem, watsky, kyle, Gambino, chance the rapper, Kendrick lamar, vince staples, earl sweatshirt and butch dawson. There are more but now isn’t the time and place for that discussion so don’t have to worry about that. So far in Romeo and Juliet I’m following the story pretty well but I have to reread a lot to be able to do this. If it were adopted and put into today’s words I feel like it would be a successful book but now kids don’t understand and because of that they don’t want to try and learn it. I wish I just watch the movie because even if I don’t understand what they are saying I can figure it out thought the actions so I don’t have to stop and reread all the time. That really kills your flow and is super annoying so it’s hard to read.

New Book: Davinci Code

Last night I started reading Davinci Code by Dan Brown. I only read the first chapter and I'm immediately hooked. It’s a scene where there is a man in a museum hiding from a murderer. The man finds him and they share an interesting dialogue that is ended by the man shooting the man that was hiding. This really confused me so I read it twice so I was sure I didn’t skip a page. I didn’t. I then sat and thought to myself why a creepy albino would be chasing an old man, because that’s an interesting combination. And then I thought that’s is probably why the author picked this and it’s a terrific way to get the reader’s attention and to make them ask questions like me. These turn of events took place over the span of two pages and left me shocked and wanting to read more, but it being 2 A.M. I didn't follow these urges and subsided to getting in my cheetah snuggy and going to bed.

New Book: water for elephants

Yesterday I started the book Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. The story starts with an interesting prologue describing a hectic memory of the main character, Jacob. That ends in a horrifying twist. “’Oh Jesus’ I said in sudden understanding. I stumbled forward, screaming even though there was no hope of my voice reaching her. ‘Don’t do it! Don’t do it!’ She lifted the steak high into the air and brought it down, splitting his head like a watermelon. His pate opened, his eyes grew wide, and his mouth froze into and O. He fell to his knees and then toppled forward into the straw. I was too stunned to move, even as a young orangutan flung its elastic arms around my legs. So long ago. So long. But still it haunts me.” This ending to the three page prologue left my mind curious and I immediately wanted to know more. I read the first couple of chapters and saw that the book went back and forth from his present life where he resides at a nursing home, to his past when his parents die and interesting turn of events land him in the circus. It keeps switching back and forth, and its hard to tell what the author is going to do next. I feel like that he is going to meet his crush from back when he was young at the nursing home. Or he will tell the nurse that he has now, that is breaking the rules and is giving him good food not from the cafeteria this story and she will end up being a relative to the girl he liked from his past.. The story is super interesting though and I haven’t put it down since I have picked up. I can’t wait to see what happens next on his wonderful adventure!
